Police responded to a report of a robbery on the 1200 block of Fitzgerald Street at 1:15 p.m. March 1, learning from the complainant that he had been walking on the block when bandanna-bedecked individuals approached him from behind, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The initial offender swung a straight razor at him, cutting his left hand and face.

The second stranger struck him in the back of the head, leading to his falling to the ground, where he received a stab wound to his right thigh. The criminals took his wallet and a silver necklace before running westbound on Fitzgerald Street. The victim described them as white, with the first being 5-foot-10, having a medium build, and wearing a dark hoodie; the second as the same height and build and donning a gray hoodie; and the final one as 5-foot-8, having a thin build, and wearing a dark hoodie.
